were strict constructionists, holding
tnat this grant of powers should te
S'rlctiy construed. When We contem-
plate the great number of case in
which the Constitution has left room
Tor discussion, due to imperfection OF
language and the failure to foresee and
provide Tor every emergency, We realize
'ns I'D portance of the distinction. OF
nose early parties, the Republican and
democratic parties of to-day are the
successors; Federslists have tecome
Republicans. and Republicans, through
change of nsne, have become DEM
ocrass.
If We We were asked why We believe
the Democratic party TO be the party of
iIeedom, We should say, generally, it is
because that patty maintains that in
terteronce with the individual, with the
precinct, the county, the city, the State
oy the superior power, should be linn
tied to cases where such interference
Is strictly and obviously essential to
the welfare of the greater number. 1t
Is because it advocates the greatest
practicable measure of liberty to ipdi-
Viduals and distinct communities. This
IS true treedom,-the exercise Of the
right for individuals and communities
to govern themselves, for il they pos
sess this right, in the highest practi-
cable degree, they cannot suffer q de-.
privstion of liberty at the hands of a
distant governing power, in which they
may be but slightly represented.
Tyranny, ignorance and prejudice
have no room under reign Of Demo-
cratic principles.
On the other hand, the tendencies OF
the Republican party are to sacrifice
individual and commercial Iibertv
to what may be termed, average lib
erty. We must not do as We wish but
as the average legislator desires us to
do.
Congress, in which the individual is
least represented, and the State legisIa-
lure ID which he is represented but
little more are to exercise the larges.
possible powers over the State in one
instance and the individual in the other.

That is why the Mormon is a Demo
rat; he would esteem the privilege Ct
laving a word in the regulation Of his
wn individual and civic affairs.

DEMOCRATS, AND WHY.

The Democracy has not been kind TO
MoFmoBs, bnt still the Mormons love
Democracy, Itwas Democratic gov
erBor that drove them from Missouri
q Democratic governor that permitted
their expulsion from Nauvoo, and q
Democratic President that sent John
ston's army to Utab to quail paper
rebellion.
Bat Latter-day Saints have under
stood thst these measures were not in
accordance with She underlying priacI-
pies of The Democratic party, but in
violation OF them. Men have
been recre2nt 10 principle, but
that has not disturbed the es-
team entertained by the majority
of the saints for the fundamental
truths of freedom, whose chief exponent
in this country, they conceive to be the
Democratic party.

their greater age and their compact
population, that the contest between
capital and labor is GENERALLY waged
with the invariable result of the labor's
defeat.
When this country becomes az thickly
settled as Europe, or when American
inventive genius fails, or we are forced
into frequent wars and into heavy
armament, We shall experience less
prosperity.
While it may ever remain a problem
whether or not the Republican high
tariff has injured the country, it is OBJ
yious that it has not produced our past
and present prosperity.

HURRY IT ALONG.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake City, Utah.

A San Francisco telegram, last week
gave an account OF the freight blockade
between Omaha and San Francisco.
It says: There are over 200 loaded
cars crowded upon the side tracks along
the Central Pacific main line. Of these
over 800 are detained on the Salt Lake
division. A report that fifteen loccmo-
tives had been sent out to relieve the
traffic strain along the lie, is smiled at
by some OF the local agents, who have
doubts If even one-half that number
could be released from present duty and
Ola any roads of the Southern Pacific
Company's system. There is great
rush Of business over Sunset, aud the
requirements of the local trade are such
that every locomotive is used. Among
shippers there is general complaint of
freight being delayed. Some of them
say that they have freight now on liues
somewhere west of Ogden that hsd
been lying at that point for fifteen days.
The fact seems to be that rush of
pdooELs5O1o A4OAA tGN NHSbs SSAlAbAAASA
with increased freight traffic, is more |
than the roads west of the Missouri |
River can handle with their present I
rolling stock" This picture is some
what recklessIy oyerdrawn. There is a
considerable detention Of freight due
to the fact that the railways have not
the motive power to handle the business
which has increased and grown upon
them 80 rapidly of late; but the
trouble is nothing like so great as
alleged above. At tbs same time,
this item should encourage the ,
of the Salt Lake & Los
and hasten the commencement ,
Of work on it. The overland traffic is ,
faster than the roads could {
have anticipated. The FIVE through :

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The amendment to the immigration
laws which Secretary Fsirchild recon-
mends, is one which will commend
itself to the good sense of the people,
and should receive favorable consider
alton by Congress. It is to the effect
that fine be imposed on the master OF
a vessel for every alien brought to this
country who is liable to become public
charge, and that the fine be made q
lien on the vessel. The ship-owners are
largely responsible for the bringing over
of so many paupers and persons who
at once become public charge. They
are interested only III the fare,
and to them the passage money
for an imprecunious cripple, or lazy
loafer is as good as the money received
TO. Transporting al bodied, thrifty
mechanic. If steamship. companies
shall be made responsible for the
ability to sustain themselves for a
reasonable time of the people they
bring to this country, they will not be
30 anxious to accept as passengers the
rabble which relatives or the European
governments are glad. to get rid of at the
tritling cost OF the ocean fare.
1t is not believed that America is yet
ready TO reverse its policy and 60 back
on the broad and humane principle on
which the government was founded; 1
that it Is not yet prepared to say to
the word that it is no longer desirable
to provide an asylum for those who be-
lieye in republican principles and who
desire to enjoy the privileges of human
liberty ana free government. America
shll extends the invitation which has
stood for a century to come here and
% free; but it has the RI ht to restrict
he acceptance of the invitation to
hose who, if they do not become an
dyantage to the nation will not at
esst becGme charge upon it. In Of

TIE RRPoRT of the Secretary Of the
Treasury for the past year, as has been
the case with some OF its predecessors
shows plainly that the tendency Of the
American people, if not In the direction
of abstinence from into1icants is
strongly towards milder drinks. Ac-
cerding to the report the consumption
of spirits decreased last year 4 ,24O, 900,
gallons while that of fermented liquors
Increased Z 900 ,0oe gallons. This show
ing must be regarded as favorable to
the cause Of temperance in view of the
fact that there is not q fourth
as much drunk" in seven millions
gallons Of matt liquors as
there is 10 four millions gallons of
spirits. It is a matter, however, for
social and phSsicsl,seientists to investi-
gate whether it will be better or worse
for the Americon race TO switch Off
from the national beverage and run to
beer. The Americans have been pre-
eminenly the whisky drinking people
of the world; they have also claimed to
be the brightest-witted, the most en-
ergetic and progressive ReopIe. They |
have at least protested superiority oV |
beer-drinking people. Hthey can drop
their whisky, drink beer.and still main-
tain their claim, the change for the
milder beverage will be a decided i'm
proyement, even if they lose some OF
their intellectual brightness and gain
in the way of temperance.
